Brief Description:  Install rudder, start rudder cable fairing install

Nasty day; about 45 degrees and will get colder. Rainy for most of the AM.

Took the rudder to the hangar. Very easy instsall once I re-installed the vertical fin.

Attached the rudder cables and tightened the turnbuckles in the cockpit. Not to spec, but just enough to remove "slack" in the cables.

Where the cables exit the fuselage, the holes must be elongated so the cables do not touch any metal, which would cause wear and ultimately failure. I'm a bit concerned that the cables are resting on the bottom edge of the openings, which are even with the longerons. You cannot notch or file the longerons, so I sent a pic off to Zenith for advice. There is a large nylon fairlead that goes around the cable, so that may be all I need to do. We'll see.
